The best way is to find the centre of surface of planar area. Then the force due to hydrostatic pressure will be:
F = d h0 g S,
where:
F is force,
d is density of fluid,
h0 is depth at the centre of surface,
S is surface of the area.
It works because when we consider the centre of surface, there will exactly as much surface with lesser pressure effecting on it as there is surface below the centre point where the pressure is higher.
The net force vector will be perpendicular to the area at the centre of surface point.
The inclined plane is a plane surface set at an angle, other than a right angle, against a horizontal surface. The inclined plane permits one to overcome a large resistance by applying a relatively small force through a longer distance than the load is to be raised.
An example of an inclined plane is a ramp, slanted road, or a slide. An inclined plane is a surface that is at an angle against a horizontal surface.
A ramp is an inclined plane because an inclined plane is a set of a surface set at an angle that is not a right angle. In which a ramp is an inclined plane!
No they are not. An inclined plane is a flat surface which has a slope to it i.e. it is flat but not level.
the force used to push the object up the plane.
It sounds like an inclined plane
A sloping surface is a simple machine called an inclined plane. It is used to reduce the amount of force needed to lift an object by lengthening the distance over which the force is applied.
No. A flat surface which is horizontal is not an inclined plane.

A simple machine made of a slanted surface is called an 'inclined plane'. It is used to reduce the amount of force required to move an object by increasing the distance over which the force is applied.
The disadvantage of an inclined plane is you need a greater force.
A ramp is an inclined plane because an inclined plane is a set of a surface set at an angle that is not a right angle. In which a ramp is an inclined plane!
Both an inclined plane and a wedge are simple machines that reduce the amount of force needed to move an object by increasing the distance over which the force is applied. The main difference is that an inclined plane is usually a flat surface that is angled, while a wedge is two inclined planes placed back to back.

A simple machine that is also an inclined plane is a ramp. A ramp is a sloping surface that allows objects to be moved from a lower to a higher height with less force.
